Courageous Leadership in the Time of COVID-19: Reducing Juvenile Detention Admissions

No young person should spend a single day in detention unless there is an immediate and substantial risk to public safety. This is particularly true given the potential for a full-blown health crisis in any facility where people are living in close quarters. In this webinar, leaders of juvenile justice agencies — two at the state level and one at the county level — discuss how they have reduced admissions dramatically and equitably since the onset of the pandemic. The leaders describe how they are using community-based alternatives to detention and the implications for future practice of safely and significantly reducing the use of detention in this moment.

Panelists:
